    Luke ~ thank you for posting. Do you think you could have read a bit more and found an article that has some sort of relevance to your real life/world? What was it about this article that made you want to bookmark it? Actually, what could we better use and agree upon as criteria to truly qualify an article as viable "news?" Any ideas?

    A soldier gets 24 years behind bars for killing Afghan civilians in a "sport" or "game". Also 5 other soldiers are getting 22 or more years for participating.

    So where putting soldiers in Libya to protect the innocent and here we are killing the innocent in Afghanistan.??? Does that make sense?
  • rachel t on 24 Mar 11
     
    The soldiers should be helping the civilians, not killing them.
  • Kristen D. on 24 Mar 11
     
    This guy should be representing our country the right way. He is making the us look bad. It sounds like he has some problems. Normal people don't go around killing others.
  • Dominic W. on 24 Mar 11
     
    The soldiers are there to help, not to kill the innocent civilians of Afghanistan. It disgusts me that any human being can kill somebody as a "sport". That is just messed up.
  • James K on 24 Mar 11
     
    I understand that killing innocent civilians isn't right. There must be something else behind all this. I dont believe that our soldiers should be put in prison for 24 years or even 22 years just for praticipating. We dont know how innocent these civilians really are.
  • brett V. on 24 Mar 11
     
    You would think soldiers would know better than to do that. They are fighting for us and then we have to talk about them because they do something stupid like this. Ya know what i mean?
  • Angela S on 25 Mar 11
     
    I understand that there are certain people who need to be killed, the people who are doing harm to the civilians are in the wrong. The soldiers are there to kill the bad people, not to make a sick game out of killing innocent people.
  • Suzie Nestico on 31 Mar 11
     
    James has a really good point, here. What if there is a bit more to the story? Was it truly a completely innocent a civilian? (Mmm... maybe I should go in and actually read the story. The conversation surrounding the article definitely makes it more interesting and makes me want to take a further look into it. Nice job, students!

    Interesting article, Ryan. I hadn't heard about this before. When tagging, common words like "lady" aren't always the best choice as they are too general. Better tags from a folksonomy standpoint may have been HIV, Chile's, needle, food, etc.
  • john c. on 17 Mar 11
     
    Wow this is bad. She is probably going to win that case. People can't be lenient with that kind of stuff. She could've possibly tested positive for many infections.
  • rachel t on 17 Mar 11
     
    People need to be more careful when preparing food. Swallowing the needle could of caused problems and injured the woman. There shouldn't be a needle in a kitchen in the first place.
  • kayleen k. on 17 Mar 11
     
    This makes you want to think twice before going to eat out at a restraunt. She will most likely win her case against Chilies. There is no excuse for a needle being in food.
  • tyler k on 17 Mar 11
     
    If i ever found a needle in my food i would sue them also. Yea she could have got HIV from it or another disease, but what is she swallowed it.
  • mikael h on 17 Mar 11
     
    I wonder if the lady put the needle in her food and then just said that it was in there. She really doesn't have any proof that they put it in there. Also, Chilies doesn't use needles in any way to prepare their food so why would it be in their.

    Surprised Beavis and Butt-head are finding their way back to TV! Really need to watch spelling. If tags are mis-spelled, people will not be able to find them. For example, when I searched "mcahs" your article did not come up because it was entered incorrectly.

    Luke, in the future, you will have the ability to choose between different kinds of media to bookmark for this purpose. For this assignment, it needed to be an article that your classmates could read and comment. Nice job with the tagging ~ accurate.
  • tyler k on 17 Mar 11
     
    It is sad that some people have to resort to stealing money from a donation jar. The fact that they got only $20 out of the jar just makes them look even worse.
  • nate w on 17 Mar 11
     
    It is very sad that someone would have to resort to something that low.
  • kayleen k. on 17 Mar 11
     
    I agree with Tyler. It's horrible that people will do anything just for money. Taking money from a donation jar is really inconsiderate, and not to mention, illegal.
  • Robert k on 17 Mar 11
     
    That sad that someone would steal donations.
  • Lucas K on 17 Mar 11
     
    This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of someone doing. Most donation jars are basically empty anyway because people really don't care.
  • rachel t on 17 Mar 11
     
    Times might be hard, but stealing isn't an excuse. Especially when it's from a donation jar to help someone else out.
  • jon k on 17 Mar 11
     
    Thats so terrible to steal a donation jar of 20 dollars. Its terrible how low people go just for some money.
  • Kristen D. on 17 Mar 11
     
    This is sad. That money could have been used to make a difference in someone sick and now it's being used for something not nearly important. People are just so inconsiderate.
  • brittany v on 22 Mar 11
     
    That is just a shame how people could go and steal things, and to go and steal money that is for someone with cancer yet. I dont think some people have feelings. It is just wrong and uncaring to do something like that.

    Finally this area shows some kind of common sense, we need to get these "drugs" off the street including the people doing them.
  • Dominic W. on 17 Mar 11
     
    This is a ban that is much needed. So many people are abusing things like this and it really needs to stop. People who continue to abuse this should be punished to the full extent.
  • brett V. on 17 Mar 11
     
    It is about time somebody does something about this ridiculous stuff that people are consuming into there body. People could really make a drug out of anything ya know what i mean?
  • James K on 17 Mar 11
     
    Mount Carmel Township will be the first township with an ordinance banning synthetic marijuana. But what does this matter? No matter what they ban, there's always going to be the nest new thing out. People will keep finding ways to get around the bans, and the new laws. Its essentially pointless for all this to be happening. even though i do agree that the "fake pot" is a bad idea

  • brett p on 24 Mar 11
